My city is at war, it's a murder everyday
These little niggas need guidance, can't keep turning them away
Baby mamas left out here with all these kids to raise
It's a never-ending episode of the first 48
My city is at war, it's more dangerous if you're black
Would you rather go to the county or let them shoot you in the back?
Cause these police is racist and it ain't hard to tell
That it's a white man's heaven and a black man's hell
Plant a seed on good soil watch the fruit that it bear
I suggest you weed your garden cause the snakes will appear
In the form of a friend, politician or a cop
Or a nigga with a hoodie trying to get you for what you got
EDD and PPP proved y'all financially illiterate
Bought up all the Gucci and crab legs, y'all niggas ignorant
Burnt out like a cigarette. Cause we ain't got no unity
Just a ton of dope and liquor stores in each of our communities
Lord forgive me for my sins I ain't no saint, I'm far from perfect
But I'm working on my temper, trying to keep this glock from squirting
Never nervous, just aware of my surroundings and my purpose
Cause sitting in the jail the rest of my life ain't even worth it
My city is at war, it's a murder everyday
These little niggas need guidance, can't keep turning them away
Baby mamas left out here with all these kids to raise
It's a never ending episode of the first 48
My city is at war it's more dangerous if you black
Would you rather go to the county or let them shoot you in the back?
Cause these police is racist and it ain't hard to tell
That it's a white man's heaven and a black man's hell
I can see all in your eyes the way you despise my color of skin
The redness in your face displays the hatred held within
Those generational curses, being taught to all your kin
And hopes to keep in a stranglehold on these young black men
I can't breathe officer pig, give me 50 feet
I got my own problems, my own struggles that's stressing me
It's not just me versus you or you versus me, it's me versus me
What I mean by that is black on black genocide in these streets that I live
It seems like death's around the corner and you can't dodge it
Homicidal thoughts is logic to a street nigga who only know how to be a street nigga
In a world full of street niggas
It's aim for profit, it's murder for hire, you can't stop it
My city is at war, it's a murder every day
These little niggas need guidance, can't keep turning them away
Baby mamas left out here with all these kids to raise
It's a never ending episode of the first 48
My city is at war, it's more dangerous if you black
Would you rather go to the county or let them shoot you in the back?
Cuz these police is racist and it ain't hard to tell
That it's a white man's heaven and a black man's hell.
